I sell guy ropes to prospective Zepellin buyers...... business a bit slack at the moment.  Used to be a Communication Network Engineer until we were bought up by CSC (Completely Shite Company), then we all became overworked, underpaid, unappreciated, undervalued, unethical clerks battling the shite procedures designed to demoralise, disenfranchise, de-skill and destroy good people and any loyalty to your colleagues, clients and family. Now I'm retired ! got a big payout from them and took my pension before they implemented 'changes'...... Am I bitter ? NOOOOOOOO I still have the letter they sent me the day after I was diagnosed with cancer which began...."The best way to keep your job is to get back to work as soon as possible." A$$holes...... 
If you do it today you MIGHT regret it. If you CAN'T do it tomorrow you WILL regret it.

Brummie, I think if you specialize in fireproofed ropes for Zepplins, your business might pick up. After all, who wants a burning Zepplin to break free from the Mooring Tower, huh?

Maintenance supervisor in a chemical plant. Charged with running job planning and scheduling and managing the computerized maintenance management portion of SAP (PM Module)within the plant. But my heart is where my craft/trade training was and where I should have remained long ago - I have been a meat cutter, a Pipefitter, a heavy equipment operator. Each of those were fun in their own way. What I do and what I've done for the last 15 years just plain sucks by comparison.
